{From Jericho} (apo Iereich(935c)). So Mr 10:46 . But Luke
( Lu 18:35 ) places the incident as they were drawing near to
Jericho (eis Iereich(935c)). It is probable that Mark and Matthew
refer to the old Jericho, the ruins of which have been
discovered, while Luke alludes to the new Roman Jericho. The two
blind men were apparently between the two towns. Mark ( Mr
10:46 ) and Luke ( Lu 18:35 ) mention only one blind man,
Bartimaeus (Mark). In Kentucky there are two towns about a half
mile apart both called Pleasureville (one Old Pleasureville, the
other New Pleasureville).
